The Toppings That Make This Recipe Great!

When it comes to nacho toppings the sky is the limit. We love juicy diced tomatoes, red onion, dollops of guacamole, cilantro and pickled jalapeños. Of course, no nachos are complete without melty cheese. We use a freshly grated medium cheddar. Grating the cheese yourself yields a better melted cheese, as store bought shredded cheese is often coated with preservatives and starches that can make it harder to melt.
